Are verbs/adjectives usually in the past tense in this form? The sentence under the "Examples" tab is, but the example phrases in the grammar section are all in dictionary form...

The example stubs beneath the construction are all in present tense; it can be used in both present and past :)

I see, thank you very much! Is there a difference in meaning when past or present tense is used? They both seem to indicate potential future events.

Not exactly - the condition they refer to can be something that is in the present/future, or something that in the past.


ったとしても - even had you won yesterday

つとしても - even if you were to win tomorrow

Can you post it in English please? It is hard to tell what you're trying to say. Is it, even if he told her he liked her, I'd still like him? The two が particles throw me off, and also "もういた" I'm trying to figure out what characters are missing there.

Can you use this with na adjectives? I can only find one clear source (https://japanesetest4you.com/f...)that says you can so I wasn't quite sure. It seems weird to me that you are able to use it for nouns and i-adjectives but not -na adjectives as well.

ex. 
だとしてもわないでください。
Even if it happens to be weird, please don't laugh

Also would you be able to use そう with this as well, as in:
しそうだとしても、べたいの?
Even if his food were to look delicious, do you really want to eat it?

My examples probably aren't the best but is this grammar point usable in this way?

Wouldn't a だ be needed after a Noun +としても?
